Insight. Integration. Inner strength.

OFFERING A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE

This process explores not only the areas you may find challenging but also the strengths and adaptations you have already developed along the way.

Insight that anchors. Growth that lasts.

Assessment services include:

  • Personality testing

  • Cognitive testing

  • Basic psychoeducational evaluations

  • Various application processes

  • Comprehensive evaluation for diagnostic clarity

Note: Some assessments are outside my scope. If you need a forensic evaluation, have just experienced a TBI, or do not speak English as your primary language, I can provide referrals to local clinicians who can better support you.

Psychological assessment can provide you with a new lens on yourself and your life. This process will explore and reveal not only areas of life you might be finding challenging, but also the strengths and adaptations you have already developed along the way. This collaborative and thorough process allows us to integrate a vast amount of information about you, in this moment of your life, into meaningful recommendations for your future.  

Assessment services will vary in price and time required to complete, depending on each person’s unique needs. Costs range from $250/hour for more focused individual tests (personality testing, cognitive testing, basic psychoeducational evaluations, or for various application processes) or up to $4000 for a comprehensive evaluation (for diagnostic clarity, ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder concerns, etc.). Completion time can range from 2-8 weeks, depending on the goals of testing as well as scheduling availability. We will discuss and confirm a price and a scheduling timeline before any testing begins. 

Importantly, assessments take time. Please be aware that even more focused individual tests will require at least two sessions/meetings to complete and that comprehensive psychological assessments may include 4-5 multi-hour testing sessions. These will need to be scheduled and completed within a 2-week period to ensure the accuracy of the data collected and timeliness with the process.

Although most psychological assessments will need to be conducted in person, remote or virtual assessments may be available for certain circumstances, such as people who live in remote areas who may not have access to attend an in-person appointment.

FAQs

  • No. I am an out-of-network provider for all insurers at this time, including Medicaid and Medicare. If you would like to use your insurance, you can submit a claim after you have paid for your session. If you are unsure if your insurer will provide coverage for services you are seeking, you may want to email or call them with a list of questions. You can find a list of questions to ask about individual therapy services here and for psychological assessment services here.

    If you have Medicare, please note that I am considered an “opt-out” provider, which means neither you nor I can submit a claim to be reimbursed by Medicare for any services rendered.

  • Yes. You can still receive mental health services virtually in most states thanks to the PSYPACT APIT agreement that is currently in place between most, but not all states. You can look up if your state of residence participates in PSYPACT using the map below:

    For anyone living or frequently travelling outside of the US, mental health services can still be made available. Please contact me to inquire further. Importantly, time zones must be considered and a stable internet connection is a requirement.

    *Please note that virtual sessions are not appropriate for everyone. There will be an initial screening process in order to determine if this type of therapy can best support your needs and the therapist reserves the right to reassess if virtual care remains appropriate even after therapy has started.
